My problem is with my sister in law. She was my friend and I thought she would get on with my brother and so introduced them. They got on so well they were married within a year. While I was happy for them I felt really dropped and abandoned by both of them at the time. We managed to muddle through but the relationship is really difficult. She is still friends with all my friends and obviously married to my brother, so while sometimes I feel we are so different we would not be close without all the ties it's not a relationship I can walk away from. My parents don't really like her. It is also difficult because when ever my brother does anything nice for me she sulks and doesn't like it. She has very different attitudes to money and what you can expect from other people too which causes tension between us. Overall despite the fact I like her a lot of the time, the relationship causes me stress and tension in both my social life and family life. It would be great to learn how to cope with the differences so I can stop getting wound up by it.
